This capsule filling machine was designed by Capsule Connection, founded in 1973 by Howard Mechanic in Prescott, Arizona. The machine itself dates back to 1981, when Mechanic, together with his father-in-law Ray Gold, developed the original design in response to the need for an affordable and simple solution for home use. Capsule Connection manufactures exclusively in the U.S. The plastic (ABS and Delrin Acetal) is BPA-free and FDA-approved for food contact.

Description

Size 0 capsule filling machine: the most versatile choice

Size 0 is the standard size that best suits most herbal powders and typical doses. A capsule of this size holds approximately 500 mg of powder, depending on the density of the material. This makes size 0 suitable for a wide range of applications: from kratom (typical doses of 2 to 5 grams, which amounts to four to ten capsules) to kanna and other herbal powders. For applications where you want a very small dose per capsule, size 1 is more compact. For the highest dose per capsule, sizes 00 or 000 are the better choice.

How does the capsule filling machine work?

The machine consists of two frames. In the lower frame, place the bottoms of 24 empty capsules. Then sprinkle the finely ground powder over the frame and distribute it using the included distribution card until each capsule is evenly filled. Tamp the contents with the tamper for a higher fill level, then place the top frame with the capsule caps on top and press both halves together in one motion. Result: 24 filled and sealed capsules.

For reliable dosing per capsule, it is important to weigh the total batch of powder in advance. Weigh the entire amount, divide by 24, and you will know the average dose per capsule. See the scale overview below for the right choice based on your intended use.

Compatible empty capsules for size 0

This machine works exclusively with size 0 capsules. Both gelatin and vegetarian HPMC capsules in size 0 are available in the empty capsules category. Gelatin capsules dissolve quickly in the stomach and are the most common choice. Vegetarian HPMC capsules are suitable for people who do not consume animal products and dissolve slightly more slowly. Both variants are available in packs of 100.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much powder fits in a size 0 capsule?

Approximately 500 mg, depending on the density of the powder. Light, loose powder fills the capsule less compactly than finely ground, heavy material. Always weigh the entire batch beforehand and divide by 24 to calculate the average dose per capsule.

Is size 0 suitable for kratom?

Yes. With a typical starting dose of 2 grams, you’ll need four size 0 capsules. That’s practical for daily use. For higher doses, sizes 00 or 000 are more efficient because you’ll take fewer capsules per dose.

Do size 0 capsules also work in the size 0 machine for 50 capsules?

Yes, the same capsule size fits in both machines. The machine for 50 capsules per batch is more efficient if you regularly make larger quantities. The machine for 24 capsules is more compact and convenient for occasional use.

Can I mix vegetarian and gelatin capsules in the same machine?

Yes, as long as they are the same size. The machine does not distinguish between capsule materials; only the size matters. Be sure to use one type of capsule per batch for consistent sealing.
